So your market will dictate whether you need one to just compete or whether one will bring you more revenue.Argument #1  Sustained maintenance doesn't kick in the first few years when everything is new.  

Based on how you answer the questions above will dictate the responses from other BP members. 

I provide my clients only the number of stamped plans they need (as dictated by the town issuing the building permit) to get one building permit.

Your 10 year plan and what you’re in the business for should dictate your exit strategy.

The use case will likely dictate the source/structure

You can still make money - but your upside and ability to raise rents is dictated by the city, not the government

@Becca F. thanks for sharing our content:)@Paul Merriwether what we outlined for Property Classes, we noted is our opinion for the Metro Detroit market.Also in our opinion, the main issues that affect SFR Property Classes:1) Tenant Pool: this is the MOST important as tenants dictate everything!

99% of your success is going to be dictated on whether or not you can find off market deals consistently. 

.: You can't dictate that the tenant insure their personal property, and you don't know how much their personal property is worth.
